@g-funk The tyre barrier at Spa that punted Hubert back onto the trackHubert’s car didn’t end up back on the track after the initial impact with the tire wall. It hit the tire wall and did bounce back away from it […]

@g-funk, his comment is about geography. If you know where Nurburgring is you’d understand exactly he is saying and its not debateable. The track is in the middle of nowhere. Far away from major citities so […]

@g-funk But that is a quote from LH giving his opinion specifically on diversity in a community, and I presume it is because it was new for them to go to Miami, so LH et al experienced a new community. The […]

@g-funk I’m not sure where you would have gotten the notion that Liberty’s view is ‘they can only make an impact in the immediate area surrounding a GP…’ Seems to me their view is a global one particula […]

@g-funk – They know how to build cars that go fast and often skirt rules. They are not great at marketing or rules development.

@g-funk Outstanding comment, but I fear that those who need to hear it cannot do so, over the din of their own echo chambers.

@g-funk maybe it is an ugly duckling.

@g-funk wow, thanks for the link. He really did think it was hilarious. Which is probably in his favour in the argument that he’s naive. Though if he thinks doing that is that funny, he must be easily entertained. […]

@g-funk There really wasn’t anywhere else for F1 to go at that point. Certainly no where that had the distribution that ESPN/ABC have. NBC was already planning to shutter NBCSN and CBS Sports is something of a j […]

@g-funk with how few shows surrounding 9-11 have laid blame at the Saudis for their involvement, I just can’t imagine a world where NETFLIX is going to air anything that shows them in a bad light. At all. […]

@g-funk They’re not allowed in the meeting, but apparently they were among the cameras installed outside the (glass-fronted) room.

@g-funk cameras have been banned from this kind of meeting for a long time now

@g-funk More money for teams wouldn’t solve the issue of insufficient personnel numbers for covering this many events even with a staff rotational format.
Additionally, off-seasons would be very short, possibly […]

@g-funk 30 in a season won’t happen simply because the upper limit prevents this + no team has enough individual personnel to cover such a high event amount in a year, especially in the budget cap era, […]

@g-funk Yes, I agree with all of that.

@g-funk I did say the title not the driver was tarnished. The issue for me was more Max’s defensive driving, not those dives into corners (cede or crash) that have FIA deemed permissible for some years. Like you […]

@g-funk Max’s title is slightly tarnished, just the reality. It went down to the wire, he was losing the race and title, Masi’s decisions completely inverted the result. None of which was Max’s fault but he was […]

@g-funk Good notes concerning China. Perhaps even COTD worthy.

@g-funk brutal timing

@g-funk Thing is that it’s not going to be easy for other teams to adopt as to be able to do what Mercedes have done requires a complete repackaging of the power unit as well as a redesign of some of the elements […]
